I made this knife for my good buddy and rancher. He supplies me with rasps and antler and I made him this knife in trade.
He wanted the sheath to be leather cross draw and I wanted the sheath to have 100% retention for those "western" moments he faces but I wanted him to still be able to get to it in those "western" moments he faces.
You hand a cowboy a plastic sheath he'll likely gag a little.
I'm not the originator of this idea but this is what I came up with. The leather and kydex are glued and I stitched it just like I would a leather sheath. the knife snaps in way nice and tight and I know when it turns rodeo time on the ranch the knife is going to stay put and not stab anything.
The knife is an L6 TCK #1 with lined and dyed elk antler.
Thanks for looking,
Todd
